A YouTube video of a Texas professor comparing the rise of the tea party in the United States to the rise of the Nazi Party in 1930s Germany has drawn criticism from conservatives online.

In the video, filmed during a Nov. 17 lecture, Blake Armstrong

Well said! There is one un-American a-hole who speaks directly about overturing that most precious doctrine.

I am sure the liberal idiot professor thinks everyone that is not a liberal must be silenced...just like the Nazi he is.

I will ask that you bear with me as to why I am becoming more defensive every day about putting the term “American’ to all and everything that goes on in this part of the world as a citizen of the UNITED STATES. First and most eminent is that my Country and the one I fought for in WWII and for which my brother died on Okinawa is the UNITED STATES. The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution is written for the UNITED STATES. The tag ‘of America’ is appropriate as to geography but not as to government. People including such as Bush1 with their one world concepts always play to the tune of ‘we are Americans’. In today’s world, words are intended to have meanings and that the UNITED STATES is America plays to this intention of ‘one world’. In spite of the ‘one worlders’ like Rockefellers and Soros the UNITED STATES was just that and must remain just that. I don’t believe that precludes the UNITED STATES from being a world political player as done in the era of WWII but to do so as to our interests.

The name of the country, the UNITED STATES is two words. Each has meaning. The word STATE was indicative of a nation and not a subservient province as they are today.

The UNITED STATES ceased to exist 150 years ago when sovereign STATES were dragged back into the UNION after they decided that they did not want to be associated with other sovereign STATES.

So, you can play your word games all you want, but the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is just a name now and has been since Lincoln. Don’t try to find any meaning in it anymore.

>>Nationalism doesn’t mean the same in America as the rest of the world because of the Doctrine of Negative Rights.

To be an American Nationalist is to support the innate rights of human beings as superior to government.

No other nation is based on that concept. In fact, it flips the common meaning of “nationalism” on its head.<<

Spot on.

Ironically.....Nazism was quite popular with the education class in Pre Nazi Germany....Both students and professors were drawn to the leftist aspect of national socialism...

Hogwash from academics is still hogwash. There are many people on the political field today who are fighting for ‘States Rights’ as intended by the Founders to be an enduring realization. To say that since Lincoln this Nation is ‘just a name’ appears to me to disclaim our historty

No. I’m refuting your idea that calling us “America” is different than calling us “United States”. The “name” has not accomplished anything. The people of the nation have done all the accomplishments.

Excuse me professor, may I speak? First, we need to look into your credentials to make sure you didn't cheat on certain courses and/or lie about your capabilities. The people the Tea Party is opposing are the ones who are acting like Nazis. So, go back and do your research and then open your mouth.

Don't let your alligator mouth write a check your butterfly ass can't cash.

No, because there were still states that were united. Just not all of them. When the United States were formed, there were 13 states. Later, states were added without changing the name. So, it is logical that states could be removed as well. The whole idea of “united” states is that each is its own sovereign entity, joined together willingly for a greater good. To force a state to stay in the union or to be forcefully returned to that union is essentially slavery to the Federal entity. After the Civil War, we were more of a Federal Republic than a United States.

I know a couple of Marxist professors. They have pulled way back on their classroom propaganda because they realize that they can be recorded without their knowledge.

Encourage every college student you know to record every class. And have them turn in the leftist claptrap.

Things are tough in academia and jobs are not as secure as they used to be. There actually can be some effective changes.
